Just look at this way, he will just enjoy getting that much more spoiled by mommy and mommy will enjoy spoiling him that much more! I feel for you. The first week is the hardest but then you will start to see the light coming back into his little eyes and then he will start to start to actually get back to being himself again. If you need to talk, I'm here.  Keeping you and Oliver in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Give the little one hugs and kisses from Hot Rod and Maggie May and me. |
Thankyou both...and all of you that have been so kind as to check in on my boy!
He is doing so well! The first few days were tough....i think more on me than Oliver! On the morning of his first day in my care i took him out to potty. Well, in trying to keep the house quiet for hubby, (he had an awful head cold) i let all the others come out with us. We have a chain link fenced area just outside the doggie door. Well, i figured i would just bring Oliver on the outside of the fence so that they could all see him, but not get to near and be able to jump on him to play or anything. Sounds good right?
Wrong!
I put Oliver down to potty and of course he came over to the fence to say hi to his brothers and sisters. They were all sticking their snouts through the fence and Oliver was licking everyone of them. It was so sweet.....until Benjamin (my new maltese 4mos baby) stuck his whole head through the chain link fence!
I freaked! OMG...i snatched Oliver up in my arms and bent down to try to push his head back out but it wouldnt go and of course now he is frantic! Poor boy was scared to death! So was I...it is 7am and no one around! I prayed to Jesus as i ran around and came back in the gate and just as i came up to him he broke free! Thank God!!! So....now you understand why i say it was harder on me!!
Things have settled down and we are falling in to a little routine here. Oliver has a stock of bully sticks to last him until he is allowed out of his house. That keeps him busy for a good bit. I give him breaks through out the day when i can just sit and keep him in my lap for a time to give him a little massage. Poor guy, he so wants to just be like normal and do his own thing! Well, here are a couple of pictures of him i took yesterday enjoying his bully stick. I bought them from AMD and they are great. The braided ones....no smell!!
